The announcement Monday that LUS Fiber is expanding to Youngsville and Broussard didn't sit so well with some Lafayette residents who are without the service.

"I say provide service to all Lafayette LUS customers before branching out to other towns," Holly Renee wrote on Facebook.. "I’ve been a LUS customer for a long time and still can’t get LUS Fiber in my home."

Tom Powers asked that LUS extend fiber services to Harbor Lights subdivision, near the corner of Verot School Road and Beadle.

"I think it's great to expand, but it would be appreciated if you would finish taking care of us folks in Lafayette," he wrote.

Lafayette Utilities System Fiber, which offers internet, telephone and TV services, has been confined to the city of Lafayette since 2009.

LUS Fiber will continue to expand throughout the city of Lafayette, LUS Director Terry Huval said Tuesday.

Some subdivisions were developed in the city after LUS Fiber's first bond sale, so they have not been serviced yet, Huval said. But LUS Fiber will be extended to those areas in the city at the same time fiber is extended to some areas of Youngsville and Broussard, he said.

"Every home (in the city of Lafayette) will have access to fiber," Huval said. "That's the intention."

LUS announced Monday its fiber service will be extended to a subdivision in Youngsville and another in Broussard in early 2018 as a test.

Residents in unincorporated parts of Lafayette Parish, some just outside the city of Lafayette, also complained about expanding to other cities first.

"We are going to consider unincorporated areas," Huval said. "We're not going to just build systems without having adequate return on investment.. ... This is not a plan to serve the entire parish of Lafayette."

Others in Lafayette complained about not having LUS Fiber in apartment complexes.

Theo Fisher wrote on Facebook, "LUS Fiber can expand to cover Broussard and Youngsville, but I can't get it in my apartment in Lafayette. Does that make any sense?"

Apartment owners decide who can provide services like cable TV to their residents and some have exclusive contracts with providers, Huval said. Apartment residents should contact their landlord if they want LUS Fiber, he said.

In 2005, voters in the city of Lafayette agreed to issue bonds to build the LUS Fiber business. The bonds are backed up by the utility system, which is owned by LUS customers.
